Volunteer Spotlight

We’re celebrating two long-time presences at the center – Sister Barbara Bartlett (left) and IVC Volunteer Abbie Nuccio (right). For many years, Sister Barbara and Abbie have been weekly fixtures at the Center, with Sister Barbara joining us on Mondays, and both her and Abbie on Fridays. Together, they help our chef, Russell, prepare meals and keep the kitchen in working order.

Sister Barbara tackles the job of sorting our partner bread donations and doing some deep maintenance cleaning of the kitchen every week – allowing us to keep providing meals to our guests without interruption. Abbie has a talent for finding ways to incorporate our varied donations into delicious meals for the Men – guests and staff are always excited for Friday lunchtime to see what she’s helped Russell create!
